Investigative Reporter David McLaughlin
is resigned to writing obituaries for the Washington Herald after having
blown the biggest story of a life-time.

He is approached by his ex-wife's new husband, Doctor Reginald
Hotchkiss, who begs him to call because the doctor has evidence of
something world changing. The Doctor is terrified.

The next morning the Doctor is found tortured and murdered and so is
McLaughlin's ex-wife. He grabs his daughter, who was hiding, and they
run for their lives.

They must find out what the world changing evidence is, where it is and
who it threatens so directly that they have unleashed a string of
murders that start with McLaughlin's ex and her new husband and move
closer and closer to the Oval Office.
